Abstract
Methods and systems for managing Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (“SATA”) affiliation transfers between a requesting controller and a granting controller of a storage system. After receiving an affiliation request from the requesting controller, the granting controller queries a number of commands that are queued locally at the granting controller.
